Excellent set Brian -love the light

Bumblebees are on my "to shoot" list for next year. I rarely see them in this area, but I do know of a place up in Tuscany that's loaded with them. Might have to take my corn syrup syringe for a road trip

Thanks john

Wish you luck with the bumble bees- I find them one of the most difficult bugs from an exposure POV. The one in the shot was also much more nervous than the other bugs - couldn't risk trying to change angles too much to get rid of that leaf in the foreground.

Same problem down here Brian: I was in Tuscany staying at a friend's agriturismo and they had a bush that was loaded with bumblebees -some of the most skittish creatures I've ever stalked with a camera...

Any chance you could stick me a fully grown pink camelia in the mail?

Half kidding, Brian. Lovely shots, the bumblebee and hover steal the show IMO.

Once owned an older home that had over 50 camelia bushes in the yard. Looked forward to January when I lived there.

One odd thing about pink camelias is they seem more sensitive to chlorosis than the red ones- hence the slightly odd leaf colour in the leaves. Although the garden soil is alluvial clay based - it has chalk lumps in it from the South Downs .
I do give them magnesium and iron supplements every now and then
